4 POETS FATHER.

George Crabbe's early life was not
happy. His father was feared but not
respected, his fits of passion being re-
called with horror by his son fifty
years afterward. The death of his
daughter in infancy is said to have af-
fected him so much as to make him a
torment rather than stay to his
family. When the poet was 20 his
father took an active part in the con-
tested election of 1774; from that time
he preferred the tavern to his own
tireside; when at home he gave way to
furious outbursts of passion, throwing
plates about the room if disploased
with the fare put before him. Crabbe's
mother was of gentle and meek dis
position, and he took after her. While
admitting his fathers faults, Crabbe
was won't to add that he had little per-
sonal reason for complaint, and his
father had always been substantially
kind" to him.
Before Crabbe's father acquired the
bad habit of spending his evenings at
u tavern he was accustomed to spend a
part of each evening in reading aloud
to his family. He often read passages
from Young and Milton, and hearing
him may have given his eldest son a
bent toward poetry. His father was a
subscriber to Martins Philosophical
Magazine, founded in 176G, which died
for lack of public support after four
teen volumes had appeared. The
magazine afforded good picture of
scientific work and progress at the time
during which it was published. What
chiefly pleased Crabbe's father were
the mathematical problems, in which
ho took keen interest. At the end OF
each number there were pages filled
with occasional poetry" which the
elder Crabbe tore out when sending
the numbers to be bound, but which
the younger one treasured and perused
till he knew their contents by heart.
Naturally he began to initiate what he
admired so much -Tcmplc Bar.

Venus and Saturn. -.

There is no more attractive spectacle III
sight from this planet at present than the ce-
lestial levee THAT Venus Is holding in the
evening sky, with the assistance of Saturn
and those famous brothers, Castor and Pol
lux. Last night they formed square, We
nus aud Saturn being the lower pair. We
nus is at present West of Saturn. Watch
them for four or five evenings to come and
you viii see Venus slowly approach Saturn
and pass to the east of him. Venus is be-
yond all comparison the brightest of the
group, vet Saturn Is some 75O times as large
as Venus But he is upward of ten times as
far from the earth as Venus is, and proper
tionately still farther from the sun, and it is
the combination of these things that makes
bis light 80 pale in comparison with hers.
Both of the planets outshine their cofnpan
ious Castor and Pollux, and here again the
element Of distance comes in to mislead.
The fact is, If Castor and PolluX were as near
To us as either Venus or Saturn they would
turn night into day upon the earth, for they
are suns, and big ones too. There is lots of
room in the uniycrse.-Ncp York Sgs,.

Duties of Road Supervisors.


Judge Turnkey, Of the Supreme Court, has
handed down the following opinion defining
the duties of road supervisors 1t is the
statutory duty of supervisors of townships
to open public roads as soon as practicable
after they are laid out approved and enter
ed on the record Of the Court. Also to keep
said roads always in repair and at all seasons
to keep them clear of all impediments to
easy and convenient passage and travelling.
Under the general statute, should there be
dangerous footwalks constructed on the
public road, if the supervisors would not be
bound to put them in repair it would be their
duty to remove them without delay. No
man has right, without authority of the
supervisors TO occupy the public road with
board walks. The duties of the supcrv isoTs
are sharply defined. and they are clothed
with authority To raise money by taxation
for the carrying out OF those duties. The
supervisors are not authorized 10 determine
what material shall be used or how the
walks shall be made. Everything is entrust-
cd TO the judgement Of the taxpayer who is
required in his bin to state the location kind
Of material aud cost Of same. etc. If the
supervisors found on the location nuisance
instead of the foo;-walk they could refuse to
deduct thee cost from the tax but ifthe work
is reasonably safe the act compcls the super
visors Ia deduct the COS; on Il just valuation.
Nothing in the act requires the foot walks
TO be built subject TO the approval of the su-
pervlsors placing valuation on work and
material does not mean approval. Nor does
the act enable the supervisors to direct who
of the taxpayers may make footwalks or
when they shall be made. All is left TO the
judgement or caprices of each axpayer, and
it cannot be known until the close of the
business of the. year how much of the taxes
levied in each year will be put into foot
walks. The supervisors cannot appropriate
a certain proportion or certain amount for
the purpose
